The city of Texas has the hardest rules in the industry and that draws the customers who mostly take part in casino based gaming activities in Louisiana that offers sports and casino based betting options to the players

The state by an approximate is losing $300 M in gaming revenues to the other states that are making it for themselves this accounts for an 10% gambling tax on the players in Texas

The texas based citizens according to a report wager about $8 billion on the industry counting all types of gambling options which are limited as the state does not allow casino and sportsbook gambling at all indeed for the players actually .

It's interesting to see the dynamics of gambling revenues shifting between states due to differing regulations and restrictions. Texas's strict gambling rules indeed seem to be pushing customers towards neighboring states such as Louisiana, where they can enjoy a wider range of gaming options including casinos and sports betting.

Losing approximately $300 million in gaming revenues is no small amount, especially considering the potential economic benefits that could be reaped from retaining those funds within the state. The 10% gambling tax that Texas could be collecting on these revenues could provide a significant boost to the state's coffers.

The fact that Texas citizens are estimated to be wagering around $8 billion on gambling activities despite the limitations imposed by the state points to a strong demand for these types of entertainment options. Allowing casino and sportsbook gambling in Texas could not only retain these funds within the state but also create new revenue streams and job opportunities.

It will be interesting to see if there are any developments in the future regarding the legalization of casino and sportsbook gambling in Texas, as it could have a significant impact on the state's economy and the overall gambling industry in the region.

Yes indeed that is an big amount of money which could also be made by them actually indeed so they have to either tweak the laws or so and make sure the rules allow the gaming industry to go up and they can make profits indeed actually

Residents going to states like Louisiana and Oklahoma, where they can engage in sports betting, casinos, and other gambling activities that are illegal in Texas, are the main cause of this loss.

Yes indeed , that is the point , they can actually have the revenue from their own citizens and can use them for welfare options , but it is their choice at the moment which they are following up indeed actually .
